You tried to do what no other could, or would
Yes, it was hard, going against the tide
You got hurt, and you got bruised
You may not even have gotten to the finish line
But remember, what matters is that you tried
That you had it in you to be different, and unafraid
To face the impossible, and not turn your back on it – like most did
I may be unknown to you, and your deed may be unknown to me
But know that I respect you and your spirit
Do not think of yourself or your actions as insignificant
Know that somewhere, someone has received hope through what you’ve done
And that you were the tiny candle flame in a room full of darkness for them
Light, nonetheless
